His run set in motion a movement \u2014 or, really, a series of movements that clashed and blended over the ensuing years, reshaping both the Democratic Party and the country. On today\u2019s episode of Deconstructed, we\u2019re trying something new: Host Ryan Grim narrates the audio version of his new book \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/us.macmillan.com\/books\/9781250869074\/thesquad\">The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution<\/a>.\u201d Macmillan Audio has allowed Deconstructed to run edited excerpts. But we\u2019ve spliced Grim\u2019s audiobook with interviews, speeches, and newscasts, making it into an audio documentary for the podcast. Our first episode takes you inside the first Sanders campaign, where we explore the tension between the right wing of the Democratic Party and Sanders\u2019s \u201cpolitical revolution.\u201d Part 2, coming out later this week, will look back at the historical forces that pushed members of the Squad into politics \u2014 and the spotlight. And Part 3, coming out next week, jumps further into the book, exploring the big-money pushback against the new insurgent energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Transcript coming soon.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2023\/12\/05\/deconstructed-squad-audio-bernie-sanders\/\">\u201cThe Squad,\u201d Part 1: The Rise and (First) Fall of Bernie<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/\">The Intercept<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\">This post was originally published on <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2023\/12\/05\/deconstructed-squad-audio-bernie-sanders\/\">The Intercept<\/a>. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We bring you an audio documentary, adapted from Ryan Grim\u2019s newest book \u201cThe Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2023\/12\/05\/deconstructed-squad-audio-bernie-sanders\/\">\u201cThe Squad,\u201d Part 1: The Rise and (First) Fall of Bernie<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/\">The Intercept<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":139,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[420],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1372242"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/139"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1372242"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1372242\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1375520,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1372242\/revisions\/1375520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1372242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1372242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1372242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
